I agree. Richard Zidlicky cleaned up the ISA support some time ago,
making it possible to just use inb() etc. in drivers for PCMCIA
hardware. It makes a lot of the things done in the apne driver no longer
needed. Have a look at include/asm-m68k/io.h if you want to know how it
was done.

Haven't tried for a while since my Amiga is still sitting in its box
after I moved.
